What I aim to go with

After reading Yinka Shinobare's Book and his discussion of how diary of a victorian dandy breaks the expectation of the viewer by having the black person become the central focus within the painting/photo in a positive light. This is so close to what I began to touch on in my previous essay about how the black image is depicted a certain way in art to make it look more subservient etc.




I want to use the series diary of a victorian Dandy to dissect the way the black image is represented in this series compared to depictions of black people within victorian imagery. Looking at the importance of Black depiction in art.
